On September 20th, 2011 Luxboston.com hosted it’s second  luxury event in Boston this time with the Lenox Hotel and Aston Martin of New England.

At the Lenox hotel’s restaurant City Table, the invited guest got a chance to experience what a true upscale luxury event should be.

The latest in Aston Martin car models laced the street and welcomed the guest as they paused to take red carpet style snap shots in front of the hotels entrance.

“The city of Boston needs more events like this” says Kevin Payne, Boston native and founder of LuxBoston.com. “Boston has so much potential but you don’t see many events focusing specifically on luxury products and services,  but i intend to change that!”

Kevin’s goal is to host more private upscale b2b and b2c events not only in Boston but Manhattan, Miami, Beverly Hills, Aspen, and internationally. Planned for next spring will be Boston’s first Luxury Summit and Expo. The purpose of these events are to feature the latest in luxury products and services to a invite only crowd of Boston’s taste makers, product placement specialists and luxury connoisseurs along with industry executives. The summit will bring in guest speakers on luxury and how Boston based brands can work together to create better customer experiences and enhance the brands.

Also present at the event was Bruce Ledoux founder of Guardian Angel Motorsports along with wife Linda. Guardian Angel Motorsports is a small group of like minded racers that have raised money and awareness for children’s charities.

“We harness the power and excitement of motorsports to raise awareness for child-related causes. In the past two years combined we’ve donated over $150,000 to children’s charities. That amount wasn’t just raised—it was donated. Which we’re very proud of. But we want to give much much more.  We realize that to give more, we need to grow more. ” Luxboston.com contacted Guardian Angel Motorsports for cross promotion and to ultimately help them grow and raise money for children in need.”

“Partnering with Lux for our evening From Boston with Love proved to be affinity marketing at its best! Kevin and his team amassed a conglomerate of luxury brands, products, and services for an event that was second to none. The Aston Martin team, coupled with Lux Limo, Genius Interactive Advertising Agency, our own City Table and the Lenox brand became the perfect storm for an event of this nature.

Oh Rihanna your a bad bad girl!
Rihanna’s ‘Loud’ tour is causing some hearts to quicken pace. After taking a spill on stage, Riri’s back on her feet and looking spicy!

At Los Angeles’ Staples Center, she wowed the crowd in a scandalously sexy get-up. In a bejeweled bikini, fishnets and fluorescent pink heels she delivered one memorable show– the R&B singer danced on top of cars with ladies in bodysuits and bright, yellow men.

Forbes magazine has increased Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth by another $6 billion.

That makes Zuckerberg the third richest guy in technology. He does trail behind Microsoft’s Bill Gates and Oracle’s Larry Ellision.

If we are really comparing it also means that he is richer than Steve Jobs of Apple and Google’s Larry Page and Sergey Brin. This new valuation was on the basis of investment made by GSV Capital. They bought 225,000 shares of Facebook at a price of $29.28 per share. Since that news broke out, GSV stock has gone up by 40%. As of today Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth was set at $18 billion.

Of course, this whole fortune is on paper only and the real value of Facebook will be known only after it goes public. Still, great going Zuckerberg!

Cameron Diaz the new face of Tag Heuer

Cameron Diaz

Hollywood actress Cameron Diaz has become the new face of luxury watch brand Tag Heuer.

She has agreed to a very lucrative deal with the luxury Swiss timepiece company to endorse its products.

“Cameron doesn’t do many endorsements, so we think she will make a big splash,” said a source.

Actor Leonardo DiCaprio and golfer Tiger Woods have also been brand ambassadors for Tag Heuer in the past.

The Mercedes-Benz Luxury Helicopter

The concept of a “Mercedes-Benz style” helicopter was introduced last year at the European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibit (EBACE) and apparently the idea found enough takers to interest both Benz and Eurocopter to pursue the joint venture.

Inspired by Mercedes’ high-end vehicles, the twin-engine Mercedes-Benz Style helicopter features a versatile interior enabled by a modular approach that allows the aircraft to be tailored to suit a range of travel needs for the well heeled – be it taking the family for a weekend away or ferrying corporate clients around in style.

Mercedes Benz Luxury Helicopter

“Mercedes-Benz style” allows the brand to share its designers and license their name/work/aesthetic to yacht makers, ateliers, appliance manufacturers. Whatever they want. Smartly, they’ve started near the top of the transportation food chain where parent company Daimler has few conflicts.

Mercedes Benz Luxury Helicopter

Eurocopter’s EC145 is a workhorse vehicle used for passenger transportation, medical transport, and other missions that require a small craft with a large space. In maximum passenger configuration it can move eight people, making it more like the R-Class of the skies. Remove three chairs and it’s an E-Class. Remove another three and it’s an S-Class. Remove the roof and it’s no longer a helicopter.

Mercedes Benz Luxury Helicopter

Designers in the MB Advances Design Studio in Italy added the custom cabin with wood flooring, soft-touch plastics, comfortable leather seats, and other typically Benz features to remake the vehicle in the true Mercedes-Benz style.

Lamborghini’s next hypercar has made its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show, and dare we say what a hypercar it is! The new Bull God will feature an earth shattering 700hp V12 and the highest power to weight ratio of any car in its class. Yes, this is the new, long waited Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4.

Lamborghini_aventatador_envymetv

“Aventador” was, according to the best detective work we can muster, a bull whose career peaked in 1993 in the town of Saragozza, Spain, when he and the torero had a particularly spirited encounter prior to ol’ Aventador’s inevitable skewering. This particular beastie belonged to the breeding stables of the sons of Don Celestino Cuadri Vides and, for unknown reasons surely banal, he bore the number 32 singed on his hide. And now he gets the strongest Lamborghini ever built named after him. And about damned time! The British were getting tired of mispronouncing “Murcièlago” over the past ten years and now they have a new proper name to mutilate.

lamborghini_aventatador

The new 691-hp (SAE), 6.5-litre V12 engine out back – called “L539″ in Lambo-speak – is a massive 40 lbs. lighter than the Murcièlago engine, sits 2.8 inches lower in the chassis, is nine percent more powerful, and produces upwards of 20 percent better fuel efficiency in the hands of the right driver (for a whopping 13.7 mpg average). Dry weight of an Aventador is now just 3,472 lbs. compared to the Murcièlago’s 3,671 lbs., a healthy five percent reduction in a class segment where weight loss is a crucial and constant challenge. Weight distribution is a predictable 43 percent front and 57 rear.

What do you think of when you hear the words Abu Dhabi? I don’t know about you but i think of luxury hotels and lavish restaurants along with the glitz and glamour of a great bustling city. This place is just amazing as it is but the legendary Cipriani Group  just made it event more amazing with the new Allure Nightclub at the Abu Dhabi Marina.

The night club’s location is one such feature. Allure overlooks the water and extravagant super yachts of the Yacht Club. It is also connected by a bridge to magnificent five-star The Yas Hotel. But the most amazing part of the nightclub is the view. What you see from its balcony is a real Formula One™ race track.

It’s no mystery why we here at Envyme.tv decided to spotlight Armand de Brignac Champagne. Rapper Jay-Z recently appeared on the Angie Martinez’ Hot 97 show, where he revealed the Armand de Brignac (Ace of Spades) champagne he endorses was ranked #1 in the world after taste tests. The results were published on September 24 in Fine Champagne magazine, the only international publication devoted to champagne.

Each Champagne was rated on a 100-point scale. The process was so strict that, if judges’ assessments were more than four points apart, the Champagne would be re-tasted and re-assessed.

Armand de Brignac limited edition bottle

Armand de Brignac Champagnes have been rated 98/100 points by world‐renowned critic José Peñín, a 4.9 out of 5 score from writer Kåre Halldén, 9/10 points from critic Davor Butkovic. They have also been praised by Italian wine critic Alberto Lupetti, Swedish critic Kåre Halldén, U.S. critics Tim McNally, Arturo Ciompi (5/5 stars), and Gil Lempert‐Schwarz, and The Tasting Panel and Wine & Spirits magazines, among others.

Bombardier Aerospace reaffirmed its influence on the large business jet category by introducing two new jets, the Global 7000 and Global 8000 aircraft. These large cabin aircraft will feature GE’s new emission cutting TechX engine.



The Canadian company’s flagship Global aircraft family covers the large, ultra-long-range category with

four aircraft models, the Global 5000, Global Express XRS, Global 7000 and 8000 jets. The Global 7000

will have a 7,300 nm range, while the Global 8000 will be able to fly a globe-girdling 7,900 nm.

“Bombardier’s commitment to innovation, ongoing investment in product development strategy and

strength as the industry leader are key contributors to our overall success,” said Steve Ridolfi, president,

Bombardier Business Aircraft. “By extending this great aircraft family, we are once again offering a business jet travel experience that is unmatched and ahead of its time.”

Bombardier first introduced the Global Express in 1996, starting what is now a family of ultra-long-range aircraft. Bombardier’s new Global 7000 and 8000 will feature an all-new high-speed transonic wing, designed

to significantly optimize aerodynamic efficiency.

The GE TechX engine on the Global 7000 and 8000 will offer improved efficiency, including reduced NOX emissions that are 50 percent below ICAO’s upcoming Civil Aircraft Emissions Protocol (CAEP-6) regulations and 8-percent better fuel efficiency overall when compared to the Global Express XRS.

“The Global 7000 and Global 8000 jets will give our customers the ability to reach more destinations

non-stop than ever before,” said Ridolfi.

Featuring a high-speed cruise of M 0.90, the aircraft are designed to be able to connect to more key

cities non-stop around the world through a combination of range, fuel efficiency and balanced field length.

Global 7000 and 8000 will also feature spacious cabins, including enlarged windows and an innovative

approach to cabin zones, which increases customer’s flexibility and choice when defining their floor plan.

Looks and sounds beautiful!

Bentley has done it again with its latest edition the 2012 Continental Flying Spur Series 51.

The new model comes in a broader range of colors and an option for two- toned interiors, three toned interiors and special veneer choices. How about a graphite finish 19-inch alloys and a touch-based infotainment system, exclusive to the series, which is a  long due feature they they finally incorporated.

Crewe’s design team has put together 14 special color combinations for the Bentley Continental Flying Spur Series 51 (which also challenges for the title of longest name yet), but buyers can specify an infinite array of combos of their choosing.

Full details can be found in the press release after the jump!

NEW DESTINATIONS FOR 2012 BENTLEY CONTINENTAL FLYING SPUR

A range of 14 Continental Flying Spur ‘Series 51′ design options unveiled Advanced and intuitive touchscreen infotainment technology introduced on all Continental Flying Spur and Supersports models

(Crewe, England. 11 November, 2010) The Continental Flying Spur and its sporting stablemate the 200mph (322km/h) Flying Spur Speed are the most successful four-door Grand Tourers in Bentley’s history and among the best-selling ultra-luxury saloons in the world.

Since its launch, the Flying Spur has achieved extraordinary sales success across the globe in traditional markets like the USA, the Middle East and UK as well as emerging luxury markets such as China and Russia.

The Flying Spur has attracted a new generation of luxury car buyers to the Bentley marque and has played a pivotal role in the company’s revitalisation. The Flying Spur’s blend of craftsmanship, dynamic performance, style and practicality appeals in equal measure to those who demand an exciting driving experience and those seeking refinement and comfort.

Now the luxurious style of the Flying Spur is even more compelling with the introduction of a range of dramatic Series 51 designs, first seen on the Continental GT and GTC. Customers of both the Flying Spur and Flying Spur Speed models may now select from a range of 14 Series 51 designs, recommended by Bentley’s colour and trim experts. In addition, all Continental Flying Spur and Supersports models are now specified as standard with a state-of-the-art, 30GB touchscreen infotainment system, seamlessly integrated into their handcrafted cabins.

Continental Flying Spur Series 51

Series 51 represents Bentley design at its most vibrant. It allows customers of both Continental Flying Spur and Flying Spur Speed to order ‘off the peg’ from an innovative and exclusive range of recommended combinations created by Bentley’s colour and trim designers at the company’s headquarters in Crewe, England, as Dirk van Braeckel, Bentley’s director of design comments:

“The Series 51 design concept is inspired by the spirit of the inaugural Bentley styling department in Crewe established by the gifted John Blatchley, who shaped the original and iconic 1950s Bentley Continentals. Today, it provides for a virtually bespoke ordering service due to the thousands of configurations available through Bentley’s expansive colour and trim catalogue.”

First offered on the Continental GT and GTC in 2009, Bentley’s colour and trim team has now created no fewer than14 unique Series 51 designs for theContinental Flying Spur and Flying Spur Speed, enabling customers to tailor their cars to their individual tastes as Melinda June-Jenkins, manager of colour and trim, explains:

“Each Series 51 Flying Spur is instantly recognisable – most notably in the cabin area – where the colour and trim team has created a wide selection of three-tone interiors demonstrating the full potential of the company’s vast colour palette.”

For Series 51 designs, the Bentley styling team operates on a ‘rule of three’ principle to create complex but harmonising colour schemes of depth and beauty, inspired by a customer’s simple choice of three contrasting colours. With luxurious wood veneers and leather hides as the main canvas, the colour and trim specialists begin with a main interior colour (typically a darker shade) and then select a second insert colour to provide an eye-catching contrast. A critical skill is identifying the third ‘accent’ colour for the stitching and piping.

The selection of wood veneers or aluminium panels for the dashboard either complements the overall look or provides even greater contrast if the customer so desires.

Bentley has reserved the limited-edition Sapelli Pomelle veneer (which provides a rare, naturally occurring quilted effect in the wood) for the Series 51 Flying Spur and a range of further options, including Bentley’s leather trimmed child seat and scatter cushions for the rear seats, may also be specified to further complement the exclusive design.

Whilst the 14 options for the Series 51 Flying Spur provide customers with the opportunity to select some of Bentley’s most eye-catching design work, the colour and trim team is also more than happy to create even more bespoke designs, knowing they have only shown a fraction of the possibilities, as Melinda-June Jenkins explains:

“One of the most exciting aspects of the Series 51 designs is the feedback from Bentley customers and their desire to explore further what we can offer. Series 51 provides just a starting point and now we are creating designs which make an even stronger and more personal statement.”

Striking range of Series 51 duo-tone paint options
The same imaginative use of colour is extended to the coachwork of all Series 51 Continental Flying Spurs. A range of striking John Blatchley-inspired duo-tone paint options, with one accent colour sweeping from the bonnet, over the roof and onto the bootlid, may be specified.

The paint range encompasses cool and crisp hues through to rich and fiery shades and everything in between with the Bentley colour and trim team recommending one of the three selected interior colours to complement and highlight the relationship between inside and out.

Bentley has also created a unique Series 51 graphite-finished nine-spoke, 19-inch sports alloy wheel, while twin Series 51 wing badges, positioned behind the front wheel arches, complete the bespoke look.
As a further sporting touch, all the latest Continental Flying Spurs, including Series 51 models, may now be specified with distinctive blue brake callipers and front wing vents styled by Bentley’s head of exterior design, Raul Pires. These sleek vents, positioned to the rear of the front wheel arches, are set into a uniquely tooled wing panel and feature a black or chrome mesh finish.

Advanced and intuitive touchscreen infotainment technology

All 2012 model year Bentley Continental Flying Spur and Supersports coupe and convertible models are now equipped with a new, highly-advanced touchscreen infotainment system that provides rich map imagery and a 30GB on-board hard drive.

An 8-inch screen displays the car’s audio system, telephone, ride and comfort settings as well as the very latest navigation system, which uses both an in-car hard-disc drive and a DVD player to access route data. It also utilises dynamic navigation to avoid heavy traffic spots, locates destinations using geo-tagged photos from an SD memory card and is Google Maps-compatible for most markets.

The infotainment system, with 7-digit postcode entry, combines touchscreen controls and classic Bentley knurled rotary switches to offer instant usability and crystal-clear feedback. The graphic interface of the screen was specified by Bentley’s interior design team to ensure its visuals are wholly in keeping with the classic, handcrafted interior. The ‘knurled’ switches on the screen for example, are ‘virtual’ echoes of the knurled texture of the jewel-like rotary switches below.

The latest Continental Flying Spur and Supersports models also benefit from telephone and music player connectivity, digital television (where available) and DVD movie playback. Music can be played and controlled directly from an iPod as well as from a six-disc CD changer, SD card reader or directly from the car’s hard-disc drive, which can store up to 15GB of music.

The new infotainment system is complemented by a new driver information panel (DIP) located in the main instrument cluster. The new wide-screen DIP employs TFT technology and enhanced graphics provide the driver with clear and easily accessible information about a wide range of car systems. These include the setting of head lamp ‘coming home’ controls, door locking and mirror functions while providing significantly improved control of such features as phone pairing and bluetooth media connectivity.

The new 2012 model year Continental Flying Spur, Flying Spur Speed and their Series 51 design options, together with the 2012 Supersports coupe and convertible models go on sale from March 2011.

I once wanted to wow the Boston scene and do something different for an Envyme.tv launch event. I needed to do something that really has never been done in this conservative city before. People asked me “Kevin how did you get Lamborghini to show up at your event’?”  I not only got Lamborghini Boston to show up but also a handful of  sponsors like Skyy Vodka and Lamborghini owners to show up with their Lambos!

Envyme.tv Lamborghini Event

That night we packed Mantra and i felt like a celebrity. It was a great feeling!

So how did i do it? Well I put on my best suit, drove to the dealership with one of my female models and simply asked them to come. I told them about what i wanted to accomplish and how they would benefit from it, including the demographics and people that i was inviting.

A few years later, same city different game. This time it was for my other company LuxBoston.com. I wanted to do another launch event but with Aston Martin  (my favorite automobile manufacturer) . How did i do it? Again i went up to the dealership this time with my beautiful girlfriend and told them about the event and simply asked them to host it! It was not easy and i had to prove myself but i pulled it off!  It turned out to be a very cool event at Mars Made with food and drinks provided by Rocca!

We hear that Bombardier is aiming to take Gulfstream’s place as king of the skies as the worlds most expensive business jet. They are set to launch two new models. The Global 7000 and 8000, which will cost around $65 million apiece, will beat the high-speed range of the $58.5 million Gulfstream G650.

New Bombardier Jets

They are going to have to make a song called “Like a Global 8″ in replace of ‘Like a G6 from Far east movement lol. Both new private jets will have a high-speed cruise of Mach 0.90; the 7000 will have a range of 7,300 nmi at Mach 0.85, while the 8000′s range will top out at 7,900 nmi at Mach 0.85. Both will borrow elements from the existing Global Express XRS and 5000.

Besides being the world’s most expensive private jets, these fuel efficient models will also steal some other titles. The 7000 is all set to have the largest cabin in business aviation while the 8,000 will brag of the longest range.

The new models with luxury fittings and amenities are designed to cater to the high flyer’s in India, Asia and UAE. The 7000 has a capacity to hold 10 passengers while the 8000 can accommodate 8 passengers. However, Gulfstream need not burst into a sweat yet as the first of these models is expected to be ready for delivery only by 2016.

Is it me or does the new Ferrari 599 resemble a Corvette? Either way its HOT!! I want one!!
These are the first official images of the highly anticipated 599 GTO. Designed to be the ultimate road-going Ferrari, the GTO features a 6.0-liter V12 engine with 661 hp (493 kW / 670 PS) and 457 lb-ft (619 Nm) of torque. It enables the 1495 kg (3295 lb) supercar to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 3.35 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 208 mph (335 km/h). Thanks to the powerful engine, the 599 GTO can lap the Fiorano test circuit in 1 minute 24 seconds – a full second faster than the Enzo.

Do you like what this Dubai resident did to an already super hot Mercedes SL65? It seemed that he was not satisfied with what i though was in already perfect auto! He asked non other than Brabus to fine tune his SL65 Black Series. This personalized, one-off Black Series is called the Vanish and features a modest black matte finish.

When thinking of the Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series, it’s only natural to think of a model that exemplifies the tuning prowess of AMG.  Straight from the factory it’s capable of hitting 62 mph in 3.8 seconds and 124 mph in 11.0 seconds before achieving a top speed of an electronically limited 198.8 mph.  For most, that’s plenty of power; but for an unknown Middle Eastern SL65 AMG Black Series owner, it was just the starting point.

The end result is a said bump in power of some 130 hp – taking the SL65 Black’s standard 670 hp to the 800 hp mark.  Larger turbos, a new gearbox, larger brake pads and an upgraded exhaust system are attributed to making it all possible. As for the result of the power boost, BRABUS hasn’t quoted specifics, but it likely shaves a few tenths off the acceleration times while removing the speed limiter likely bumps top speed well into the 200+ mph range.

From these images it seems like Karl Lagerfeld has already begun shooting the 2011 Pirelli Calender.

Models Like Isabeli Fontana, Heidi Mount, 2009’s top model Natasha Poly and Magdalena Frackowiak in the calendar.

“I’ll do it in my studio in Paris. It’s too obvious to have a beach setting”, was Karl’s comment backstage at his show in Paris.

Techart says that they will be showing off their new modified 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show as well as a new Porsche Concept Car.
The first beautiful brute is a new version of the GTStreet R Model. This is based on the 2010 911 Turbo, the GTStreet R is about serious performance. The 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six produces 660 horsepower and 635 pound-feet of torque, and Techart claims a 0-100 km/h time of 3.5 seconds as well as a top speed of 214 mph. Providing the looks to go with the power is an aggressive aerodynamic kit that includes an adjustable rear spoiler and carbon fiber rear diffuser and front splitter.

The next vehicle is the concept with a design based on the Porsche Panamera. With 550 HP and a twin Turbo V8, Im liking the concept already (wait till you see the images) and it sounds like it will kick ass. The exterior features a full body kit as well as 22-inch forged wheels. The inside is upholstered in a striking white and cocoa leather complimented by phosphor green stitching. Techart calls it “unusual personalization.”

Launched less than two weeks ago LUXBOSTON has officially become Boston’s premiere luxury guide and listings. Boston Massachusetts is one of the oldest cities in America. It was founded as a town back in 1630. Since then, it has grown from being a hub of social and political importance into being one of the most cultural and economic cities in New England.

Surrounded by hospitals and universities, Boston is rich in culture and education, from museums celebrating Boston’s rich history to its “Emerald Necklace” of green park spaces, including the famous Boston Common.

So why no luxury listings or luxury specific directory until now? We are not sure but LUXBOSTON says that it will “Engage Boston’s luxury market with energy and a new outlook. They even have plans to host events with ASTON MARTIN of NEW ENGLAND among other Luxury brands in the area. “Our goal at luxboston is to engage attendees with luxury offerings and allow exhibitors to display their products and services to a targeted and discerning audience”, says Kevin Payne, founder and native of Boston.

The hybrid version of the 599 GTB is expected to be revealed during the 2010 Geneva International Auto Show in March. Rumor has it that the hybrid 599 will use a modified version of the Kinetic Energy Retrieval System that was employed in Formula 1 racing in 2009 but discontinued in 2010. If that’s the case, an electric motor will be added to the car’s drivetrain that will act as a generator during braking to recover some energy, which would then be stored in a battery and used to boost performance on demand.

Overall a reduction of about 35% in fuel consumption (equivalent to about 17 litres per 100km) will be achieved.

I have to admit i was a bit surprised by the collaboration photo-shoot with Sean Combs and Natalia Vodianova for this photoshoot. I loved the classic look minus the bling and extravagance that you would expect from Mr. Combs aka “DIDDY”. Sean wears classic mens cut suits and the editorial captures scenes that remind us of classic romanticism in a war time era. They both look amazing and Sean Combs never fails to impress me.

This foray into old Hollywood glamour – shot by Annie Leibovitz – can be seen in the gallery below.

Yes you are reading this correctly, just a few weeks after the showing of the Burj Khalifa we hear that its already facing competition. Plans for a new superscraper in our own backyard of Miami could win the title of the worlds tallest building. Forget about the Burj Khalifa??? WOW i would love to see this happen!

According to Miami herald, Kobi Karp has submitted designs for Miapolis, a ‘city within a city’ planned for Watson Island. If built, the 160 storey building will be 183 meters higher than the Burj Khalifa. What is more, the Miapolis will boasts of an amusement park, observatory, restaurants, 1.96 million sq ft of shops, over 1000 apartments, 1 million sq ft office space and a 792 room hotel.

Besides being a rival to the Burj Khalifa, the new building if built will function as an economic engine creating 5,000 permanent jobs, paying off $39 million debt owed to the City and injecting $2.5 billion annually into the local economy.

The project is currently looking for funding from investors. With Miami’s current financial woes including a reported 100,000 plus properties in foreclosure, wonder if this project is the right defense to promote economic growth.

What does watch maker Omega do to add to an already amazing collection? Make it even more amazing of course! The newly redesigned Constellation line from Omega unveils its latest star. Every constellation in the universe has its brightest stars, and in Omega’s newly-redesigned Constellation line, nothing glitters more brilliantly than the unique and luxurious Constellation Baguette.

Omega Constellation Baguette

The Constellation Baguette has been created with a strong and vivid visual identity – its dial displays a dramatic supernova structure which emanates boldly from the diamond Constellation star on its mother-of-pearl background at 6 o’clock. The one-of-a-kind masterpiece glistens with 459 Top Wesselton diamonds totalling just over 30 carats.

The “invisible” mounting of the 146 baguette and trapeze diamonds on the dial means that no trace of the 18kt white gold used in the creation of its case can be seen between the precious stones.

Omega Constellation Baguette

Since the Omega Constellation Baguette is a one-of-a-kind horological masterpiece, every single one of its 459 beautiful diamonds has been cut exclusively for the watch.

If even just one of the stones needs to be replaced or exchanged, the process can take longer than it would for a series-production watch. Any new diamond will have to be custom-prepared so that it matches the color, clarity, cut and carat size of the stones around it. In fact, due to the absolutely unique nature of the Constellation Baguette, no standard replacement parts can be kept in stock – each one would have to be specially created for this extraordinary timepiece.
